Charging Cable With Control Unit - Volvo V60 Twin Engine Owner's Manual

Charging cable with control unit -

temperature monitoring
In order for the car's hybrid battery to be
charged (p. 297) safely every time, the control
unit (p. 301) has a built-in monitoring device for
the charging current.
The control unit's monitoring device ensures that
the permissible charging current (p. 298) is auto-
matically adjusted to take into account the safety
aspect. This ensures safe operation without
supervision as well as optimised charging time.
NOTE
Use a charging cable recommended by Volvo
in accordance with IEC 62196 and IEC
61851 that supports temperature monitoring.
Temperature fuse
Temperature monitoring is activated automatically
when the car's hybrid battery starts charging. If a
critical temperature is reached then the charging
current is lowered. If this happens repeatedly,
then charging is switched off.
IMPORTANT
If the temperature monitoring has automati-
cally lowered the charging current repeatedly
and charging has been interrupted then the
cause of the overheating must be investiga-
ted and rectified.
STARTING AND DRIVING
Charging cable with control unit -
ground fault breaker
The control unit for the charging cable (p. 301)
has a built-in ground fault breaker that protects
the car and the user from electric shocks
caused by system faults.
If the control module's built-in ground fault
breaker is tripped then the car symbol illuminates
with red constant glow - check the 230 VAC
socket.
IMPORTANT
The control unit's earth fault switch does not
protect the 230 VAC socket.
